Wait for the answer.

Hi I’m Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

I’m a Business investor, we talk on this show about things that affect business people. So whether you own a business, whether you are the executive and in charge of a business, we like to see things from that perspective and kind of talk about the issues that you deal with.

What are some shortcuts?

What are some tactics, strategies and principles that you could put into play right away in your business?

This is a situation that has been a long time coming for me. And I’ve been getting bits and pieces of this all for really the last 12 months, 12 to 18 months?

I’ve been waiting on a very specific answer about a problem that I’ve been having in one of my businesses, it’s one of my favorite ones.

I wasn’t quite sure what to do and I had a huge piece of that answer come to me today in the form of a book that I was reading, which I would have never guessed. Out of all the books that are out there, that would be this book that would be helpful to me.

I’ll tell you, maybe we’ll talk about that tomorrow, or in a future episode, what book that is and give you a little book review.

I’m waiting for my hard copy to come because I listened to the audio already. And so I’m really jazzed about it. It was, it’s been one of the best books I’ve read in the last couple of years.

Actually, some of the best books that I’ve read recently, have all been about this same subject matter. And these things have just started coming to me. Really not.

Not through any fault of my own but I wanted to talk about this.

This is a scenario that I hear I hear from a lot of different people, but specifically about business people they’ll say this in conversation, but it never gets brought up enough in terms of the scenario that we almost all go through.

This is it, we hit a problem, we hit a wall, we hit a plateau, we hit something with our business, and with and with how we’re handling and how we’re thinking about it.

When you reach that point, what do you do?

Really, you just have to wave your hands up in the air and say, I don’t know what the next step is. I don’t know how to fix this. But I still have ideas on things to try.

We’re going to keep trying things but I’m going to wait for the answer.

There are a lot of different ways that answers come to you. Sometimes it just comes in the middle of the day while you’re doing something else.

Sometimes it can be while you’re working with your hands or something. I’ve heard that from a lot of people if they’re working if they’ve got themselves engaged physically in something, that’s when the answers come to them.

Other people say it’s when they take a shower when they’re taking a shower on a daily basis, the answers just pop into their head, other people to first thing when they wake up in the morning or in the middle of the night, they get an answer.

They have to make sure they write it down so they don’t forget it.

Sometimes it comes in very specific forms. Sometimes it comes in the form of conversation, you’re talking to someone. So it could be someone that has nothing to do with business.

This could be a business question you have on your mind but something they say opens up something in here, that gives you the answer of where you need to go next. And then sometimes it can come from something as simple as a book, every once in a while.

Usually one that was recommended to me, it’s usually from a book that I recommended. I tend to not read books and less than recommended from somebody I know, or from somebody with that I’m at least familiar with someone I trust of some sort. And so this was a book that was recommended. Up until this point, I’ve heard a million people talk about this book.

I mean, everyone’s jazzed about the end, because everyone was jazzed about it. I didn’t want to read it. I’ve run away from the majority of what most people do. And because it was so popular, I’m saying Why can’t be very good if it’s that popular.

Otherwise, you’d hear more about it. I mean, you just hear people say it’s a great book. But I didn’t hear much else than that. And I thought it had a stupid title. So I’ll tell you about that later. But that’s not what I’m talking about today.

What I’m talking about is in this book came a big piece of the answer that I was looking for. And it’s an answer that I’ve gotten a few pieces about this these questions.

I’ve gotten a little piece like I said, I probably really asked it hard about a year ago, and I just get little bits and pieces it comes to me and it comes a little bit in conversation but really every once a while I’ll get it from an expert, somebody who has the experience that can talk about it in a way that automatically I know, they know what they’re talking about and it fits my scenario.

This situation was that the magic isn’t in the book. The magic isn’t what he was talking about, even though it’s so great stuff. And it’s some of the stuff that I’ll pass on to a million people. Because it’s that good but that’s not the real magic.

The magic isn’t exactly and asking the question in saying, I don’t know, tell me. But that’s the beginning of the magic. The magic starts there. You got it.

You can’t it doesn’t work without that until you admit that you don’t know, you can’t go on the search for the answer. You won’t be looking for it. But whatever it is, that brings it to you. There’s something and tells you when it’s right.

Pay attention, pay attention. That’s it.

There’s something on the inside that tells us when things are right. And you call it intuition you can call it you know, Holy Spirit thing. You call it whatever you want but that’s the magic. That’s an important thing. You got to start by waiting for the answer.

If you wait for the answer, the answer will come. I guarantee it will come unless you die beforehand. But you can’t do anything about that. And then then the answer. Well, it wasn’t that important anyways, hopefully.

But if you’re really willing, and you’re open, the answer comes to you and you know, it already has. I know this has happened to you because it happens to everybody. It’s just we don’t talk about it often enough, because it seems weird and seems like coincidence type of thing. It’s not a coincidence. It’s the answer to your question.

It comes in a very directional way. I’m certain of it. We don’t need to get into religion or details or anything like that, but I’m certain it’s, it’s an actual thing. So don’t doubt it. Be ready for the answer and wait for it because it’s coming.

I have a book, 9 Ways to Amazon-Proof Your Business. If you haven’t if you haven’t seen this before, I promoted every episode. 9 Ways to Amazon-Proof Your Business is all about how to overcome competitive forces regardless of what industry you’re in.
